<h3><b><span data-contrast="auto">Ingredients</span></b><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">2 cups sugar</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">1 cup cornflakes</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">2 × 385g tin condensed milk</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">½ cup lemon juice</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">4 eggs, separated</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">Dried lemon slices, to decorate</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<h3><b><span data-contrast="auto">Method</span></b><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3>
<p><i><span data-contrast="auto">For the cornflake-brittle base</span></i><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Grease a baking tray.</span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Cook 1 cup sugar in a pot over low heat until melted, then stir in the cornflakes.</span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Pour the mixture onto the baking tray. Leave to cool.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><i><span data-contrast="auto">For the flan</span></i><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Preheat the oven to 175°C and grease a flan mould or cake tin.</span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Whisk together the condensed milk, lemon juice and egg yolks to make lemon curd.</span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Pour the lemon curd over the cornflake-brittle base and cover with foil.</span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Bake for 40 minutes, or until almost set. Allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for 1 hour.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><i><span data-contrast="auto">For the meringue</span></i><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Place remaining 1 cup sugar in a pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling until it is completely melted and boiling.</span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Whip the egg whites until they reach ribbon stage (just before stiff-peak stage).</span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Slowly drizzle in the still-boiling sugar while beating the egg whites. The heat will cook the egg and turn the meringue mixture glossy.</span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Spread over the cooled lemon curd. Brown with a blowtorch or pop under the grill for a few minutes. Decorate with dried lemon slices.</span></li>

<h3><span data-contrast="auto">Ingredients </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">1.3kg whole chicken, giblets removed </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">2 red onions, quartered </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">1kg baby potatoes, washed </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">Oil, for roasting </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />

</span><span data-contrast="auto">Fresh coriander, for garnish (optional)</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><strong>For the stuffing:  </strong></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Oil, for frying </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">1 packet (200g) streaky bacon, chopped </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">1 medium-size orange sweet potato, peeled and cubed 1 onion, chopped </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">4 cloves garlic, finely chopped </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves chopped </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">Handful fresh parsley, chopped </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">1½ cups (130g) breadcrumbs </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">Salt and black pepper </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"><br />
</span><span data-contrast="auto">1 egg </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<h3><span data-contrast="auto">Method </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> To make the stuffing, heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry bacon until golden. Remove and drain on kitchen paper. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> In the same pan, fry sweet potato cubes until just starting to brown, about 5 minutes. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Add onion, garlic and herbs, and fry for 5–8 minutes, stirring often. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Tip in breadcrumbs and bacon, season and cook for 2 minutes more. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Remove from heat and allow to cool before mixing through the egg. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Season chicken, outside and inside the cavity, and spoon stuffing into cavity. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Truss the chicken (see Chef’s Tip below). This is optional but ensures the best result – it keeps its shape and cooks evenly. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Place red onions and baby potatoes in a roasting tray, toss with oil, season and place the chicken on top. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Roast in the oven at 180°C for 60–80 minutes, basting regularly with juices. (It’s done when the skin is golden all over and the juices run clear when the chicken is pricked with a sharp knife.) </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Serve chicken with roasted potatoes and onion, coriander and pan juices.</span></li>

<h3><span data-contrast="auto">Method </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Line a 20cm loose-bottomed cake or tart tin with baking paper.</span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Add biscuits and melted butter to a bowl and mix thoroughly until combined. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Press biscuit base into the tin, pushing it 8cm up the sides. Chill in fridge until firm. </span></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>For the filling</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Heat milk and castor sugar in a pot and stir until sugar dissolves. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Whisk cream, egg yolks and cornflour together in a bowl until thick and pale. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Whisk into hot milk mixture in pot. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Add lemon juice and grated peel, and cook, whisking vigorously, until thickened (about 5–10 minutes.) </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Stir in vanilla and butter until melted. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Remove from heat, strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. Cool before stirring in gin. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Pour cooled filling over biscuit base, smooth the top using the back of a spoon and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. </span></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>For the syrup and candied fruit</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Heat tonic water and sugar in a pot, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add lemon and lime slices and simmer for 30 minutes. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Using tongs, transfer fruit slices to a baking paper-lined tray and leave to set. Take syrup off the heat, add gin and allow to cool. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Arrange cooled candied fruit on top of tart filling and drizzle with gin syrup. </span></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>For the meringue</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Whisk egg whites and cream of tartar in a glass or metal bowl over a pot of simmering water (make sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl) until mixture is warm to the touch. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Transfer meringue mix immediately to a stand mixer (or use a hand-held electric mixer) and whisk until stiff-peak stage, adding 1 Tbsp castor sugar at a time at one-minute intervals. Once sugar is completely dissolved, whisk in vanilla. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Dollop spoonfuls of meringue onto the tart. To brown the meringue (optional), use a baking/kitchen blowtorch, or place tart under a hot grill for 1–3 minutes until meringue has browned, keeping an eye out that it does not burn.</span></li>

But this one&#8217;s probably a bit fancier!</p>
<p><strong>SERVES</strong> 8 // <strong>COOK TIME</strong> 40 min + cooling time</p>
<p>INGREDIENTS<br />
<strong>2 cups</strong> sugar<br />
<strong>1 cup</strong> cornflakes<br />
<strong>2 × 385g</strong> tin condensed milk<br />
<strong>½ cup</strong> lemon juice<br />
<strong>4</strong> eggs, separated<br />
Dried lemon slices, to decorate</p>
<p><strong>METHOD</strong><br />
<strong>For the cornflake-brittle base </strong><br />
<strong>1.</strong> Grease a baking tray.<br />
<strong>2.</strong> Cook 1 cup sugar in a pot over low heat until melted. Stir in the cornflakes.<br />
<strong>3.</strong> Pour the mixture on to the baking tray. Leave to cool.<br />
<strong>For the flan</strong><br />
<strong>1.</strong> Preheat the oven to 175°C and grease a flan mould or cake tin.<br />
<strong>2</strong>. Whisk together the condensed milk, lemon juice and egg yolks to make lemon curd.<br />
<strong>3.</strong> Pour the lemon curd over the cornflake-brittle base and cover with foil.<br />
<strong>4</strong>. Bake for 40 minutes, until almost set. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for 1 hour.<br />
<strong>For the meringue</strong><br />
<strong>1.</strong> Place remaining 1 cup sugar in a pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling, until it is completely melted and boiling.<br />
<strong>2</strong>. Whip the egg whites until they reach ribbon stage ( just before stiff-peak stage).<br />
<strong>3</strong>. While beating the egg whites, slowly drizzle in the still-boiling <span style="font-size: 1em;">sugar. The heat will cook the eggs and turn the meringue mixture glossy.</span><br />
<strong>4.</strong> Spread the meringue over the cooled lemon curd. Brown with a blowtorch or pop under the grill for a few minutes. Decorate with dried lemon slices.</p>
